*************

Langley Hall is a red-brick building in the Palladian style, located in Loddon, Norfolk, England. It was built in 1737 for Richard Berney, on land that until the Dissolution of the Monasteries belonged to Langley Abbey, and sold two years later to George Proctor to enable Berney to repay his debts. In 1744, the estate was inherited by Sir William Beauchamp who, in compliance with his uncle's will, changed his name to Beauchamp-Proctor. The family later changed their name Proctor-Beauchamp.

Matthew Brettingham performed the principal design of Langley Hall, with a design that was very much in the Palladian style of nearby Holkham Hall, though much smaller: a large principal central block linked to two flanking secondary wings by short corridors. It was later enlarged with the addition of corner turrets by George Proctor and wings by Sir William Beauchamp-Proctor, and addition of a Doric Portico in the 19th century. The interior of the Hall boasts fine plaster decorations in the library attributed to the court sculptor of Frederick V of Denmark, Charles Stanley. The fine ceiling in the ladies' boudoir, on 'Music and Entertainment', was painted by Andieu de Clermont prior to his return to France in 1755.

Langley Hall is now occupied by Langley School, an independent boarding and day school founded in 1910.

Langley School is an independent coeducational boarding school situated in the market town of Loddon in South Norfolk, England.^[1] The school was founded in 1910 and is a member of the HMC.^[2]

The school's latest Ofsted report gives it an overall quality rating of ""good"".^[3]

Langley School was originally the Norwich High School for Boys which was founded at St. Giles in Norwich in 1910 by Jeremiah George Chapman. Just after World War II the school under the then headmaster John Jevans moved to Langley Hall at Loddon. Langley Hall is a red-brick building in the Palladian style, built in 1737 for Richard Berney, on land that originally belonged to Langley Abbey. In 1744 the estate was inherited by Sir William Beauchamp and remained in the family until the 20th century. The hall is set in well laid out grounds created by Capability Brown with an extensive spread of daffodils during the spring which are opened to the public annually on ""Daffodil Day"".^[4]
